Former President Donald Trump has stated that a deal between the U.S. and Iran was nearly delayed due to recent Israeli airstrikes near Beirut, Lebanon. According to Trump, the agreement was set to be signed “within hours” but was disrupted by the attacks. The strikes, which resulted in three fatalities, reportedly “turned everything upside down” and caused a setback in the negotiation process. Trump did not elaborate on the specifics of the deal or the nature of his communication with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but indicated he expressed his displeasure with Netanyahu regarding the timing of the strikes. The incident highlights the delicate geopolitical situation in the region and the potential for external factors to impact ongoing diplomatic efforts. The agreement’s finalization now appears imminent, despite the recent complications.
